As the sauerkraut pushes up on the little jar, it’s held in place by the lid and can go no further, thus remaining below the brine. Others may be fermenting in challenging conditions where it is crucial to have brine coverage for the duration of the fermentation period. Keep these fermentation tips in mind and soon you’ll be consistently making mouthwatering sauerkraut with ease. Not all mishaps will be inedible, but they can greatly change the flavour and make your results unpredictable.In 9 TOP Fermentation Lids for Mason Jar Fermentation [HOW AIRLOCKS WORK], I cover the various types of fermentation lids.
